A very well done set. It shows crucifixion is NOT the way to be executed!

Nailed to the right of the crucified Messiah I looked at the slut crucified to the left who dared to speak with him like a real subject to her real lord, stupid whore. It's his fault after all! Were it not for his messianic "idee fixe", he wouldn't be crucified and we would also be spared for sure!

Lydia (1 of 3)
Lydia begun her career as a dancer and singer more than ten years ago but she never was a famous performer and she was hardly remembered even by the people who watched her performances.
This week Lydia was sentenced to play against her will the most important role in her career to the scenario written by the procurator and you can be sure that this time she was well remembered for many years by everyone who witnessed her full day long passionate dance and singing.

Lydia (2 of 3)
Few hundreds of citizens visited the execution site this Sunday and many more of the travellers plus the whole cohort marching in the direction of a limes which made two and a half thousand of spectators. Never before Lydia's performance drawn such an attention. In fact, she hadn't used to dance in the nude, so this last performance was something new and embarrassing for her, not mentioned being much more exciting for the spectators. And she continued her dance for full twelve hours!

Lydia (3 of 3)
After the twelfth hour of her continuous dancing Lydia felt exhausted with terror, pain, shame, hunger, thirst and blood loss, so she was really lucky that the procurator ordered the executor to make sure the victim is dead before the sunset. The mighty thrust of a spear pierced the lungs and scratched the Lydia's heart. Her struggle with the coming death continued for a minute but finally the death won as usual, leaving the dead naked body of a killed woman hanging exposed and motionlessly from the wooden cross.
Witnesses were satisfied and talked merrily to one another while returning to the town but there were no flowers, cheers or applause for the dancer, although she gave her best to the people. To be honest, she gave everything to them, including her very life. But the occupation of an actress, dancer or singer was never esteemed nor properly paid for in these ancient, barbaric times.

Lydia - prelude
But why the hell she was crucified? I didn't mention it at all. Let's fix it now.
Well, I am not sure myself and perhaps, as usual, Lydia was a victim of an over-repressive system of a borderline towns. She was seen by few witnesses speaking with some very light haired and blue eyed stranger, talking in some barbaric language. He soon disappeared from the town, but he was supposed to be a spy (or a Cherusc warrior scouting in the civilian clothes, which meant the same for the authorities). She was interrogated with no slightest mercy: when arrested, she was stripped, sexually abused and flogged before being delivered to the procurator offices - still naked and tied with ropes, and the soldiers kept the whips ready, so she resisted only for few minutes and she quickly pleaded to all charges.
Sentenced to death she spent the last night in prison (at least they temporarily gave her the short tunic), praying to her Germanic gods for the quick asphyxiation (she supposed she as a free woman would be burnt at the stake)...
...and remembering old good times...
...so she was absolutely stoned when she realized she would die hammered to the cross like a slave!
The Roman justice was acting quickly, even if not always accurate: two hours later Lydia was hanging nailed to the tree of shame and writhing with pain and fourteen hours later she was dead.
To make the record complete: later they found and arrested the spy. He died on the same cross as Lydia. However when interrogated he denied that Lydia was involved in his deeds and he even didn't remember what they talked about, except his proposal to spent a night with him (which she refused to).
But it is often better to crucify ten innocent women than to let go free a guilty one, isn't it?

These are brilliant, as are all your drawings. You convey the exposure and shame so well.

July 61 BC
After the siege of some resisting oppidum the cellars under the citadel were full of prisoners of war. The men - warriors fighting against Roman tax collectors - were marched in the tryumph and executed immediately. But there still remain many females, not very useful for the work in the mines, however selling them as slaves could be even dangerous for their new masters. So the authorities solved the problem, executing one prisoner after another, day after day, crucifying them early in the morning and killing with breaking their legs just before the next prisoner was delivered, thus securing the twenty four hours of utmost suffering for each of the prisoners and that the cross pole would be ever occupated. "The crosses don't like to be empty", told the maior, "so we will deliver someone to be hanged every morning. Fresh delivery every day!"
So, starting from July 1st, thirty one barbarian girls and women were killed. To be precise, first two of the pack were able to prove their Roman citizenship. So, they were crucified in the beginning, and with the loincloths, however tied very carelessly (or rather: carefully tied to NOT cover their vulvae)...

The next prisoners were simply nailed, sometimes in various positions to make their dance more interesting to the public: with their hips twisted or with legs widespread. And no one more was allowed to wear the smallest piece of cloth. Only three or four of them died before the morning crurifragium, most of the victims at their arrival at the site were able to witness the terrifying symphony of horrible sounds after breaking bones of the previously crucified woman, filling the air for few minutes with cries, moans, squeaks and rattling of the female dying with pain and asphyxiation. Many of the women listening to this hellish concert fainted or pissed themselves. They know they must suffer the same fate...

To make sure that even the latest of the prisoners would stay alive on the cross for 24 hours, some of the weakest were given a sedile during the midday inspection. But most of them, nailed skilfully, suffered enormous pain and exhausting but with no risk of a premature death.

In the last week two of the especially arrogant and resisting prisoners were crucified with two beams in order to keep their legs spread and very low to allow the travelling lower class men to rape them. Both were penetrated few hundred times before breaking their legs.
The very last of the crucified women, who was nailed 31st of July and died August, 1st in the morning, was not a prisoner herself. She was one of the women taking care of the prisoners for charity sake. Perhaps it was an accident, but one of the Gaul prisoners died after eating the soup brought by her, so she was accused of deliberate sparing the imprisoned girl the death on cross. The result was easy to be foretold: forced naked and hammered to the same wood, she died instead of the prisoner, bearing full consequences of her fault.
